I have a plastic bumper to send from the Midlands to Edinburgh, its large 1800cm x 60cm x 60cm. Can find a courier who will insure against accidental damage and the choice seems to be between Paisley Freight and Parcel Force. Both about the same price. Which one should I risk?

Or any other suggestions, anyone going from Worcestershire to Edinburgh with space and would like a drink?

Thanks Norman

Parcel Force insurance is pointless, they never pay out. You could wrap it in 500 layers of bubble wrap and put it in a steel box... and when they drop a car on it and it gets crushed they'll tell you it's all your fault for not protecting it.

I recall a similar query on here and a bumper courier on eBay was suggested. I think it was in the monaro forum.

Used this one for alloy wheels, actual pickup and delivery was interlink and had no problems. They seem to do other car parts too;

It was going to be DCS or Paisley, and after reading around I got the impression DCS were the better choice.
